Looking good Roman. Before you sand those mould seams on the exhausts, check some reference pics - they might be the welded joints of the real thing. Just a thought.

 

[vajled]

thx guys
I have check reference pictures but only I have seen is clear exhoust without any welded trace on them...

ok... my decision is to make closed engine...
engine is painted and gloss is on, also as prop.
tomorow will put decals (if any of them go) and made wash
I decided to these steps because I have great fit of engine and fuselage

thx Crimea (sorry didnt catch your name)
Usually I done all gluing but somethimes if are fit's good leave some parts for after.
Exspecially like here elevators - just because easyier masking for splinter camo and paintin... same for engine cowel, main gears and rudder...
Maing gears are really excellent fit in this case, engine is on 4 pirs who are going in 4 sub's for gluing, and rudder is also on own pins... for after gluing I cant mess with anything here


Cheers
